  1. Indeed, Star is an excellent choice. In my opinion, it would be unwise to spend money on changing the gearbox ATF without having an expert inspect the vehicle for any further defects that may need attention. If you are considering doing a do-it-yourself automatic gearbox fluid replacement for £100, or purchasing an icarsoft code reader for £100 to assist with future car maintenance, then these are viable possibilities for you.
  2. If the gearbox had maintenance at 37k, the automatic gearbox fluid (ATF) should still be in excellent condition. A mileage of 50,000 is considered to be rather modest when it comes to experiencing issues with the gearbox. I suggest seeing an MB professional to first read the problem codes. What is your location in London?
  3. Thank you, I will send a message to the vendor to see whether the product is compatible with the GT line.
  4. I own a 2023 model. Thank you for your guidance. This is my first time posting, so I was not quite certain about the necessary steps.
  5. Hello, I am enquiring whether anybody is aware of a source for Kia Proceed GT Line Wind Deflectors. Despite my diligent search since acquiring the vehicle around two months ago, I have been unable in locating these accessories. Greetings
  6. I have previously attempted to cleanse the mating surface.
  7. Although I had all four wheels aligned last year, they neglected to do the wheel alignment this time.
  8. Greetings, everyone. After many months of mostly problem-free driving, I am experiencing an issue that I am unable to identify. After my aftermarket 19" wheels developed cracks, I decided to replace them with genuine Mercedes 18" wheels. However, I am now experiencing a noticeable vibration in the steering wheel while driving at speeds over 55mph. The wheels underwent refurbishment and were fitted with new tires without any reported problems. Subsequently, I had all four wheels inspected once more at a separate alloy wheel establishment. Has anybody experienced anything similar to this previously? I am contemplating what to investigate next. Thank you in advance, hoping for the best outcome.
  9. As an IT professional employed by one of the largest insurance companies in Australia, I understand the reasons for the significant increase in insurance prices. All you need to recall is seeing the news, recollect witnessing the sight of several vehicles drifting down the street, and the sight of rows of charred residences. Due to the escalating costs of car repairs and medical treatments, insurance firms must modify their rates to adequately account for these expenditures. Moreover, variables such as inflation, the expenses associated with vehicle maintenance, and the frequency of natural catastrophes may also contribute to the escalation of auto insurance costs. In the end, insurance firms must guarantee they possess sufficient cash to meet possible claims, resulting in elevated premiums for policyholders. The cost of these automobiles is around $80,000, and you may anticipate a yearly payment of $1200 (AU). You will value it when, and if, an incident occurs.
  10. That is how it was originally configured, and they don't disable it.
  11. Even though I made sure there was no delay, the xenon lights still won't go off.
  12. I was hoping there was a method to disable the lights when the vehicle is turned off, but they simply remained on instead.
  13. Is there a way to put in an automatic setting that turns off the electricity to the lights when the vehicle is turned off? The car doesn't have one.
  14. Greetings, I recently purchased a 2014 Range Rover Evoque. As a resident of Iceland, I am aware that it is mandatory to have the headlights turned on at all times. However, whenever I turn off the car, the headlights remain turned on. Is there a way to have them turn off automatically when the engine is turned off? Thanks! I know it's simply twisting a knob, but there are times when I forget, like when it's daytime and the light isn't visible on the road. I'd prefer not chance receiving a fine, so I'd appreciate any assistance!
  15. Reconsideration; no cost provided you cover the shipping fees.
  16. Since I had a simple Audio 20 system with only a radio and single CD player, and after reading Wighty's discussion, I decided that it would be more logical to upgrade to a newer and more advanced head unit. However, I didn't want it to be too contemporary and stand out in a way that doesn't go with the rest of the car.
  17. If the SEC paint is authentic, it will be solvent-based, while modern paint is water-based. Unless the rust is quite noticeable and widespread, it may be advisable to tolerate it and do temporary, improvised repairs to prevent further deterioration. Permanently eliminating wheel arch rust, particularly in the rear wheel arches which have double skin, is an uncommon occurrence. It is important to remove any secondary causes that may cause the rust to resurface before spending a significant amount of money. Paint supply stores may provide a similar shade in aerosol cans for do-it-yourself wheel arch repairs using colour match swatches. It is important to inspect and compare the colours in adequate outside lighting. The first coating would have been GLASURIT.
  18. Possible causes for the issue might include a malfunctioning master cylinder, situated behind the clutch pedal, or a faulty spring damper connected to the clutch pedal. If you are in need of a damper for your clutch pedal, I have one available for sale. The damper is brand new and comes connected to the pedal.
  19. https://www.carwow.co.uk/mercedes/gla/colours?irclickid=zIlwzsV1rxyPRPUxoCTql0XVUkHWpu25mQH22c0&irgwc=1&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=10078&utm_campaign=af_impact_radius_Skimbit Ltd.&affiliate_ref=10078&utm_group=&utm_content=impact_adid%3A1257574_sku%3A_sharedid%3Ambclub.co.uk
  20. Avoid Mars Red as well. However, a contemporary GLA should not be susceptible to any issues related to red paint. It seems that the only available colour in red is Patagonia Red, which costs £825 as an additional option when purchasing a new car, as stated by Car Wow.
  21. Irrespective of the information shown, you have driven almost 12,000 km in over 12 months. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you promptly arrange for an oil and filter replacement.
  22. While doing research on breakdown covers, I came across the following options: Start Rescue is a recommended option with a 3-star rating. Eversure Gold cover was provided by Driver Guardian.
